Gill Garth Gallop - Wednesday 15th June 2016

For the second year running, I heard over to Selside to race the small, but perfectly formed, Gill Garth Gallop. Just 9.8k and 550m of climb, but a bit of everything. 

Wasn't sure how I would perform tonight, Saturday was a tough race and a speed session on Monday was perhaps not the best prep. 

But, as always, I work hard and run my own race. Conditions are ideal, relatively dry underfoot and cool and clear overhead. 

Well I finished 18th in 57:31, 4th V40 but, more importantly for me, this is over. 2 mins quicker than last year (25th, 59:46), at last some progress :-)




The hotdog, coffee and cake......ideal sustenance for a finely tuned athlete :-)
